I don't know for sure what ended up happening, I think the buyer either got 
something from them or he gave up.  I sent all the required documentation to 
UPS's insurance company then never heard from anyone after that.

That's not an "Act of God."  That is a result of pilot error.  I cringe whenever 
I see that phrase in a legal document (such as an insurance policy).  When you 
see that, it is there for someone to weasel themselves out of taking 
responsibility for something they should own up to.

Another thing.  I would just LOVE to see politicians who talk about personal 
responsibility actually take some when they screw up.

Definitely.  I am going to give that one a try next time.
